GIBRALTAR -- In furtherance of its "We Play Different" strategy, 888poker recently launched the latest innovation in online poker games -- face-to-face poker via webcams.
888poker touts its latest poker innovation called Pokercam Tables as fun way for online poker players to play the game. Via webcams, players can play face-to-face poker with essentially anyone from anywhere in the world.
The feature is exclusive to 888poker players and to play Pokercam Tables, players just need to go into a poker room on the 888poker network marked "Videos". Using technology similar to popular video-calling program Skype, players will not only be able to see their opponents real-time but also communicate with them.
888Holdings Director of Poker Offering Hill Shakked stated his enthusiasm for the new feature:
"I'm thrilled to offer current and new customers of 888poker this innovative and fun feature. It's been almost a year in the making and we are delighted at the result. Players can look forward to enjoying a completely new and different poker experience, by simply downloading the new 888poker software on a computer with a standard webcam. Now the greater challenge will be how to conceal the big smile when you get pocket aces!"
888Holdings Vice-President for Poker Maytal Ginzburg also added:
"We believe that real poker is not just about winning money, but it's about the thrill, the fun, the excitement and the social poker experience. Online poker has been traditionally focused on the 'money making' element - we feel that there is no reason why online poker should not enable players to meet, socialize and play together. Our new pokercam tables offer our customers a place to meet, play and socialize and are a true indication of our commitment to play different. It's all about opening our doors to customers that want a casual game of poker, some may play for fun and some may play for real money, what we offer is a fun and exciting game of poker against people who share the same interests as you and now you can actually see and talk to them!"
